Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Review

    On January 22, 2003, in response to a request to conduct an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on silicomanganese 
from Brazil, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') published 
a notice of initiation of administrative review covering the period 
December 1, 2001, through November 30, 2002. See Initiation of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request 
for Revocation in Part, 68 FR 3009.
    Currently, the preliminary results of this administrative review 
are due no later than September 2, 2003. Due to the complexity of 
certain cost issues, including the cost investigation and high 
inflation during the period of review, that have arisen in the course 
of the review, it is not practicable to complete the preliminary 
results within the time limits mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended. Therefore, in accordance with that 
section, the Department is extending the time limit for completion of 
the preliminary results until no later than October 17, 2003. The 
deadline for the final results of this review will continue to be 120 
days after publication of the preliminary results.

    Dated: August 29, 2003.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Group I.
